    Summary

    It's not *Tim's* fault Batman slept with his mom sixteen years ago, or Tim's fault that Bruce Wayne regrets signing away his parental rights fifteen years ago, but Jack Drake sure thinks it is. Now Damian is bugging him about cows and family and Jason and Dick won't stop kidnapping him and Bruce is acting like court orders don't matter, like he doesn't have a huge bat-shaped secret to protect from literally the whole freaking world.

    Why is Tim the only functioning adult in this situation?

    This was supposed to be coated in angst, but it fell in the fluff bucket instead. (So, update, some people are saying this may not be as fluffy as I am advertising it. I plead the 5th.)

    Summary

    Bruce whisks Clark's body down to the cave, knowing with a certainty he can't explain, that Clark isn't dead. Clark can be saved. Bruce assumes the answer will be something he can solve like a puzzle.

    Something he can fix.

    He just never expected the answer to be touch.

    Bruce's touch.

    He never expected how much Clark's touch, in turn, might save Bruce as well.

    Summary

    So the thing is, Tim survived months with Ra’s and the League of Assassins. He’s fine with poison. It's the whole sibling thing that's going to kill him.

    Summary

    “I’m here to bring you this.”

    Clark set down a protein green smoothie in front of him.

    “It’s from that place you told me about. I’m eighty-five percent sure I got the flavor right,” he added quickly, before Bruce could object. Bruce stared at the cup like it was a foreign object.

    Or, Clark has picked up a habit of doting on Bruce, and truthfully, he has no intention of ever stopping.

    Summary

    "Whatever happened in Metropolis three months ago- I need you to wrap it up. It makes you a goddamn liability."

    "You think I don't know that?" Clark's voice is hoarse. Low. "You think I wanted this to happen?"

    Dark eyes watch him.

    "I'm not trying to be your weak link, Batman. I'm trying to survive it."

    (chapters get longer and better i promise)
